If power is a priority, the EcoDiesel’s 56-percent torque advantage over the Ram 1500 with the Pentastar should be convincing. The EcoDiesel’s 420 lb.-ft. peak torque is unsurpassed among V6 pickup trucks or even the V8 engines available in GM and Ford’s ¾-ton and 1-ton heavy-duty pickups. The EcoDiesel 1500’s top tow rating is 9,200 lbs.

The all-new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel is the first and only diesel available in the half-ton pickup segment. It is a variation of the 3.0-L VM Motori diesel used in European Jeep Grand Cherokees and Chrysler 300s.
